“I have always had a bit of a difficult time focusing on things that aren’t interesting to me”

Fuck, that sounds horrible. Sign that chick up for some synthetic methamphetamines stat! Ling went to see a doctor who had her run through a maze trying to snag a piece of cheese. He used her poor results to explain why Lisa decided that smiling for a camera would be a better option than the applied sciences:

“Any part of the testing that demanded focused, sustained attention, you had much more struggle with.”

Attention deficit disorder sure does sound a lot like what we used to call, not all that smart. I have to give some respect to Ling for this charade. Her sister got kidnapped in North Korea while reporting on how crappy rice tastes under Communism and became the subject of worldwide media attention. First, nobody even knew Lisa Ling had a sister. Then suddenly nobody cared about Lisa Ling. This ADD nonsense ought to bring her back into the good graces of the Fat Oprah audience who require a popular medical struggle as the price of their affection.
